"Search less, Fetch more." A local-first, privacy-focused research assistant that bridges the gap between the web and your obsidian vault.

TheFetcher is a desktop application built with Tauri v2 (Rust + Vue 3) aimed at streamlining technical research. It bridges the gap between the web and your obsidian vault using autonomous agents and local RAG.

8. Save structured knowledge directly into your Obsidian vault.

Standard search and retrieval. Perfect for quick lookups or gathering raw list of documentation URLs.

• Tools: SearXNG -> Scrapling -> Ollama Summarize.

Local-first Knowledge retrieval. Query your Obsidian vault using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation).

• Process: Semantic search across notes -> Context injection -> Ollama synthesis.
• Requirement: Obsidian Local REST API must be active.

An autonomous ReAct agent that loops through tools until the query is fully answered.

• Toolbox: search, fetch, vault_search, vault_read.
• Hybrid Reasoning: Can search the web for recent updates while simultaneously referencing your local notes for context.
• Transparency: Watch the "thought process" in the LiveLog as the agent decides which tool to use next.

The UI features a unique Neo-Moorish aesthetic, blending geometric complexity with modern glassmorphism:

• Zellige Background: A mathematically generated geometric pattern (CSS-only) representing infinite knowledge.
• Glassmorphism: Translucent panels that float above the complex background, focusing attention.
• Typography: Outfit for headers (modern, geometric) and Inter for readability.
• Palette: Deep Indigo, Emerald, and Gold accents.

• Frontend: Vue 3, TypeScript, Pinia, Vanilla CSS (Variables).
• Backend: Rust (Tauri), Reqwest, Serde.
• AI: Ollama (Local Inference).
• Search: SearXNG (Self-hosted/Local).
• Storage: Obsidian (Local REST API).

1. Ollama: Install and pull a model (e.g., llama3.2).

   ollama pull llama3.2:1b

2. SearXNG: Run via Docker.

   docker run -d -p 8080:8080 searxng/searxng

3. Obsidian:
   • Install the Local REST API plugin.
   • Enable SSL (self-signed is fine, TheFetcher handles it).
   • Copy your Bearer Token.

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone https://github.com/ElMoorish/Thefetcher.git
   cd TheFetcher

2. Install dependencies.

   npm install
   # Ensure Rust is installed (rustup)

3. Run in Development Mode.

   npm run tauri dev

1. Click the Settings (⚙️) icon in the app header.
2. AI Summarization: Toggle ON to use Ollama, OFF for raw markdown.
3. Obsidian API Key: Paste your Bearer Token here. (Required for saving).
4. Headless Mode: Toggle to hide browser windows during fetching (Experimental).

• Local First: All AI processing happens on your machine (Ollama). No data is sent to cloud AI providers.
• Private Search: Uses SearXNG to anonymize search queries.
• Secure Storage: API Keys are stored in memory during runtime and not hardcoded in the final release.

To create a standalone executable (.exe):

npm run tauri build

The output will be in src-tauri/target/release/bundle/nsis/.
